I think a lot of people are working and just making ends meet. I don't know that they have time to consider civic obligations.

The ones that give blood -- they give all the time.

They're not as civic-minded as people used to be.

People like to have a good time.

When you have 200, 300, 400 people at a time this is the place to be. Otherwise, you need to come to a (Red Cross) chapter where we can handle people that drive in on their own.

We're not going to let the people of San Diego County down. We are on schedule. We are on time. And we're going to come up with a solution that hopefully will be embraced by the voters in November of 2006.
